    Really crazy game last night as the Yankees finally broke through for their first win of the year against the Sox. Between the rainless rain delay, the highly questionable umpiring and Alex Verdugo getting hit with a baseball by a fan to the complete disinterest of stadium security, it was a frustrating night to be a Sox fan.

    Will be at Fenway next weekend to see the Yankees for my fourth Red Sox game of the year. 2-1 so far in games I’ve attended.

    This is my view from the seats we always get.

    Feeling like I may have missed the mark by making this thread way too specific. Mods are more than welcome to change thread title to “Major League Baseball” or something similar.

    Anyway, another very entertaining Red Sox - Yankees game last night as the bitter rivals started another four game series … this time at Fenway. Sox were down 3-1 and down to their last out when Kike Hernandez came through with a clutch two run double to send it to extra innings. Boston once again fell behind in the top of the 10th before Yankees pitcher Brooks Kriske tied a single inning major league record with FOUR wild pitches in the bottom of the 10th. Sox walk it off 5-4. Woohoo.

    Will be in my seats at game three of the series this time tomorrow. :D

    Seventeen years ago today, Jason Varitek and Alex Rodriguez squared off in what became one of the more memorable bench-clearing brawls in Red Sox - Yankees history. Boston would go on to win its first World Series title in 86 years later that year, historically coming back from a 3 games to none hole against those same Yankees in the ALCS.

    So the Red Sox took three of four games over the Yankees and remain in first place in the AL East with a 61-39 record. :D

    The last two games of the series were crazy affairs with the Yankees erasing a dominant pitching performance by Nathan Eovaldi on Saturday with 4 runs in the top of the 8th to steal a 4-3 win (this is the game I attended). But yesterday, the Red Sox returned the favor! After not recording a single hit through seven innings, the Sox rallied for five consecutive hits in the bottom of the eighth, all five of whom scored as the Sox rallied for the 5-4 win. Crazy stuff!

    Photo at the very end of the game on Saturday taken by yours truly as Boston came up just a tad short in the bottom of the ninth, leaving men on second and third …

    Good day Guys. Hope y'all have been doing good and well. All the facts y'all have had to say.....are good and interesting. I myself am down here in the Southeast USA and a fan of the Atlanta Braves. I hate how this year and the last couple of years......on Satellite television...they have taken away our games. I no longer see my daily Braves baseball games and I haven't had much an idea how my local team has been doing this year. I myself hope the Braves are doing well this year......can anyone tell me their status and what they think?? Wish y'all's teams best !!!! Thanks...

    The Cubs released Jake Arrieta after he told a reporter to take his mask off during press conference

    The Cubs brought back former ace Jake Arrieta this season in hopes of rediscovering some of the form that won him the 2015 National League Cy Young Award. Instead, Arrieta has put together some of the worst performances of his career, and his off-the-field remarks haven’t helped his cause either.
